These new submariner ceramique looks quite nice out of the box, you can find some pictures on the fora.

Otherwise I would recommend the milgauss!

Ok so you want a vintage sub, what is your buget?

I am going to help out on this one rather than flame just because of the best sub question, LaLa you have no idea how oftern we hear that question.

So advice is based on what you have to spend as there are lots of options

Full marks to Andy for patience!

To the OP, I suggest a Perfect Clones 5512 with Asian movement. That will hold you over for a few dollars, until you start homing in on what you really want.

Yes, I can not agree more (on both).

First off, I believe that since you have narrowed down your choices to vintage subs, you have to ask yourself a few more questions.

1. Most important, how much do I want to spend?

You can spend anywhere from 150.00 USD for a nice out the box replica or you can spend 3000.00 USD building a 99.9% accurate franken with everything genuine except the case.

2. Do you want a date or no date Submariner?

3. Use the search function to help you answer the questions you might have. There have been tons of really good in depth posts about every model sub, from every seller, as well as all of the various "franken" builds.

4. In your post you stated "Out of the Box" Unfortunately, in my opinion, none of the present day "vintage" subs are correct "out of the box" The old MBW's were pretty close, but nothing around that doesn't have flaws.

Here are two photos of Rolex 1680 vintage submariners.

The first is a MBW 1680 with the old school case, genuine crown,tube and a slow beat 2846 movement inside (this movement "ticks" at approximately the same rate as the genuine movement) Case guards have been trimmed and the dial has been relumed with vintage lume.

The second watch is a more recent version of the 1680 "Red" Submariner. I bought it used, and can't remember what it cost. As far as I know, nothing has been done to it. It came with a slow beat 2846 movement. It has a crown that's too big and the crystal, retaining ring assembly is not like the genuine. you can use some genuine parts with this one, but not everything fits together like the MBW.
